Event Outline

Low impact development regulations that require significant runoff reduction are going into effect. In many cases bio-retention and infiltration are not feasible or may not be practical. In these cases harvesting and re-use may be the best option to reduce or eliminate stormwater runoff.

This presentation will provide an overview of water usage and applicability of harvesting as a runoff reduction technique. Harvesting and re-use create additional challenges for site design and special consideration of building codes, health codes and water law must be taken into account. System components, standard practices, and example projects will be shared.
